Seems like Kobe chucked the team out of this one too.

2 for 15 from the field.

No shit.


Not to mention he's playing on a less than 50% knee and it's only the 2nd game of preseason and they've traveled to Europe.

No Bynum. Kobe on a bum knee. Working new players into the triangle.

Plus, Barcelona is damn good.

Because this trip was a "show" trip. Especially this game.

Phil after the game about Kobe...
““He’s not ready to play,” said Jackson. “He’s going out there to help the good will (of the NBA) and to show the fans his presence on the floor and support his teammates.”

Yeah I think he only played 8 min in the first game against Minny in London.

Played the first 8 today and sat the 2nd. Played the first 8 of the 3rd and sat until crunch time. Played a total of 24 minutes today.

And Kobe asked Phil to put him back in.

I don't care how much Kobe, Bynum, etc.. played.. The Lakers should beat FC Barcelona. Obviously it doesn't mean shit, but still.

Who fucking cares, its the damn preseason.

I hate the Lakers, but they will be playing in the Finals this year. Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA and no I'm not on his nuts, I hate him to. But I'll give respect where respect is due.

I wonder if Kobe said he could beat Barcelona in his sleep too..

LOL

All I'm saying its only "preseason" because the Lakers lost, if they win, you have a thread about how great the Lakers are. The fact remains, Kobe is a fraud and has been carried to championships but his Jordan(Shaq and Gasol), truth hurts.

Must be why he is the reigning back to back Finals MVP and not Gasol. BTW remind of how many Playoff games Gasol won before he teamed up with Kobe?

How many playoff series has Kobe won without Gasol or Shaq?

I have never been a Lakers fan. I will be this season. I will also be a Celtics fan and a fan of any other team that has a snowball's chance against the "Heat". I hope that someone beats the Heat and keep the Miami "Carpetbaggers" from claiming the NBA Title this coming season.
